- Well, when it was first made available, it was a technological wonder for
- it's price range (Give C= a point for their own microchips). Nowadays,
- it's refreshingly simple to program, and still has a sound chip that a PC
- cant match (well, for $100 extra)...but the 64 is $149 brand-spanking
- new!
-
- Eh, it'll be around for at least another 5 years...folks are finding more
- and more with every passing day that the 64 can do as much as a $1000 PC,
- just a little slower, and with a few disk swaps. Expandable to 24 megs,
- bps rate of up to 38.4k...not bad for $149.
